Caption reads: "Indian children are no different than white children when it comes to 'playing cowboys' as these three chaps from the Coeur d'Alene tribe attest with their new Christmas outfits. The cowboy outfits were Christmas gifts, received at the yuletide party at the DeSmet mission. The children are, left to right; Aloysius and Avery Woodstocken and Christopher Moctelme."
